Introduction
At some point, many people ask themselves the same question: when did making friends so difficult?

As people move into their late teens and twenties, however, social connections can begin to feel more complicated. Despite living in a world where communication is constant, many individuals still experience loneliness. Understanding why this happens reveals important insights about modern life, human relationships, and what friendship truly means in today's fast-moving world.
